Herbert Bates, 62, owner of H&B Auto Repair, located at 1311 22nd St. S for 21 years, devises a way to install power steering and brakes in a 1968 Ford truck in January 2002. Bates moved the business to Ninth Street and Seventh Avenue S in March because of a rent increase that he did not want to pay. Ill set up in my back yard before I pay the man more money, says Bates. Now, if he wants to fix some things and make this old building better, then we might be able to talk but not like it is now. Eliamusia Payne, 76, who has worked at H&B for the past seven years because he says he cant stand to be still, says hed do anything for Bates because that kind of man dont come along often. Eliamusia Payne, or Ely as he is called, is a World War II veteran who served under Gens. Patton, MacArthur and Eisenhower. When I moved to St. Petersburg (in about 1930), 22nd was a dirt road and Jordan Park was a lake, says Payne.
